I'm having a little frustration with my mobile service, as I've learned some of
the texts I'm sending don't go through and others are cut off. As far as I know
this is isolated to texts sent to one other person, and poking around online
suggests this may be because I'm sending from the Verizon network across to the
AT&T network, though we are also caught in the brand war, as this involves an
iPhone 5 talking to a Galaxy S4 S3. I've seen a lot of reports
online about similar problems, but not much suggests how to solve this, and some
seem to think it's an inevitable complication of translating across networks or
carrier technology or something, but I thought I'd throw this out there to see
if anyone had any experience that might lead to a suggestion of how to work
around this annoyance.

That's how I felt. Yes, the remark might have been slightly sexist, but calling it misogynistic is over the top. And the remark was slightly less sexist given the context. ie.. as you mentioned she is a public figure who has profited from being attractive. And before anyone jumps on me, I'm not saying a woman can't be attractive without breasts. Personally, I rank a nice smile above a nice rack.

It's one of those books I read, really enjoyed but never read any of the sequels to. My understanding the movie is based on two of the books, the original and another which was written from the point of view of one of the other main characters for the same period of time. It has the potential to be very good. It will be interesting to see how much grief it does or doesn't get for closely following the books. Hmmm, maybe I should go back and read it before seeing the movie.

Hypersensitivity for the win! Let's all put our big boy and big girl pants on now m'kay?

Jesus fucking Christ, you can't even make a harmless joke anymore without idiots getting their panties in a wad and throwing out words like "sexist" or "mysogynist". Mysogyny - the new "Race Card".

Oh please, gents. Yes, all men love Jolie solely for her acting ability. Her looks don't factor into it at all.

Yes, on a human level it's terrible as it happens to ANYONE. However, she is a public figure whose fame has a great deal to do with her looks and it's not like Hollywood isn't notoriously shallow. You can still say it's a tragedy to happen to a beautiful woman without being a misogynist pig. It's the same when anything beautiful is marred, whether it's animate or not. We don't appreciate beauty in all its forms for no reason. It's hardwired to the DNA for myriad reasons.

People can think you're sexist and be straight BTW ;)

That is correct. I am married. My wife and I had a discussion about this in the past; due to what my mother went through. She should not define herself by her looks but only by her mind and soul. That said, if she encounters this situation, I fully support any action required to remove any cancer or disease. Her life and well being are a priority.

I am sorry, his comment really hit a deep nerve. I apologize for the over defensiveness and if it appears to be a personal attack on his person. I felt it needed to be said. Hopefully, he will change his point of view someday before he verbally hurts a female colleague or relative.

My father told my mother she wasn't a real woman after she had a mastectomy. You are inferring the same with any woman who has breast cancer surgery; that her beauty is defined by her breasts. You are acting like a disgusting misogynist. Show your post to your mother.

Yeah, whatsapp, the ultimate spy tool. Compared to anything Google, Apple, Microsoft, or even the CIA does, whatsapp is like a t-rex next to a mouse. Take a look at all the rights and the power you give to them by installing their trojan app and IMMEDIATELY uninstall the app.

Care to elaborate or are there ninja's on the lawn at the moment?

My kung fu is better than their ninjitsu.

Go to googleplay and check the rights you're giving to the whatsapp intelligence agency by installing their software.WhatsApp is violating privacy laws in a couple of countries, in quite a lot of countries it's "under observation". And ask yourself: what does WhatsApp need all this info for? If the CIA (or Home Security or whatever) would do this, there would be a public uproar. But WhatsApp can get away with it, because their service is "free". Well, not really, but, you know...
